The hybrid pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) breeding technology based on cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is currently unique among legumes and displays major potential for yield increase. CMS is defined as a condition in which a plant is unable to produce functional pollen grains. The novel chimeric open reading frames (ORFs) produced as a results of mitochondrial genome rearrangements are considered...

Software libraries provide leverage in large part because they are used by many applications. As Parnas, Lampson and others have noted, stable interfaces to libraries isolate the application from changes in the libraries. That is, as long as there is no change in a library’s syntax or semantics, applications can use updated libraries simply by importing and linking the new version. However, lib...

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is important for exploiting heterosis in crop plants and also serves as a model for investigating nuclear-cytoplasmic interaction. The molecular mechanism of cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restoration was investigated in several important economic crops but remains poorly understood in the Welsh onion. Therefore, we compared the differences between the...

Ability to predict whether a change in one file may require a change in another can be extremely helpful to a software maintainer. Software change repositories store historic changes applied to a software system. They therefore inherently contain a wealth of information regarding (hidden) interactions between different components of the system, including the files that have changed together in ...

Some functions...

Maintainer Ola Larsson Description Genome wide studies of translational control is emerging as a tool to study verious biological conditions. The output from such analysis is both the mRNA level (e.g. cytosolic mRNA level) and the levl of mRNA actively involved in translation (the actively translating mRNA level) for each mRNA. The standard analysis ...

We previously discovered carpelloid stamens when breeding cytoplasmic male sterile lines in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica). In this study, hybrids and multiple backcrosses were produced from different cytoplasmic male sterile carpelloid stamen sources and maintainer lines. Carpelloid stamens caused dysplasia of the flower structure and led to hooked or coiled siliques with poor seed ...
